Promises made a few weeks ago in the House of Commons by]! 
Earl Kitchener that the “big push’’ would start on the western front 
within a short time have ‘been adequately fulfilled during the last 
week, according to the latest dispatches from the western theatre. 
Starting last Friday afternoon the Franeco-British troops took the of- 
fensive in earnest, and the big steam roller did its work remarkably 
well.. Over four iniles of front lost in the early period of the-eonfliet 
is restored to the Allies as a result of some of the most savage fight- 
ing of the war. Fragmentary “reports reaching the British and 
French war offices indicate fearful losses, but the optimism in Lon- |: 
don and Paris has been entirely justified for 20,000 German troops 
were captured without difficulty, as well as over thirty big guns and 
a host of machine guns. Although admitting ‘reluctantly that they 
have lost some territory around Souchez, the German admiralty at- 
tempts to minimize the great victory of the Allies by announcing 
that ‘their troops have been. resting during the last few weeks.’ 

More encouraging news comes from the eastern front where 
the Russians are steadily advancing, and the Austro-Germans have 
found their paths strewn with marshes, where their héavy arNllery 
becomes mired. The fact that the Teutonie forees have met with

LALLY BUSINESS 
PURCHASED BY 
FASE OMPANY 


PR Cae 

Friday of this.week will see 
a change in management of the 
large dry-goods business con- 
trolled for the past. few years 
by C, T, Lally, the business in- 
terests having been acquired by 
Messrs F, E, Fraser and Com- 
pany, formerly of Winnipeg 
who have looked out Wain- 
wright as their future home 
and centre of commerce. Mr, 
Lally who was not in a position 
to divulge his plans this morn- 
ing, said that it was not his 
immediate intention of leaving 
town, : 

Messrs F. FE. I'raser and Com- 
pany come here well reeommen- 
ded. Mr. Fraser will act as 
manager of the congern and 
will be assisted in his work by 
W. K. Bothwell. Both have 
had a wide and varied exper- 
ience along similar business 
lines. Mr, Fraser interviewed 
this morning had the following 
to say: “I have been travelling 
the west fora considerable time 
with the hope of finding a busi- 
ness that thought offered 
possibilities for good invest- 
ment and development. It was 
only after careful investigation 
that I decided to settle in Wain- 
wright and my present belief is 
thatthe town opeasup many 
avenues toward prosperity.

singie engagement decisive in its 
nature. The struggle may, and will, 


ba. marked by many great individual 
conflicts but the chief factor will be 
the endurance of the belligerents; the 


nation, or combination of ‘nations, 
with the superior staying power will 
emerge victorious. < 

It Ys up to us all to aid in the result 
by every possible conservation of our 
resources. The Germans have elim- 
inated waste and are thereby 
much better prepared to continue the 
struggle; without this genius for or- 
ganizing © the Austro-German forces 
would today be in a desperate position 
in all likelihood 

There are countless ways wherein 
we might profitably emulate the en- 
emy The matter of alcoholic con- 
sumption is one of these. It is un- 
deniable that money spent for liquor 
ordinarily brings no return of useful 
ness to the consumer or purchaser. 
So far as concerns the consumer the 
money is com letely wasted, its ex- 
penditure resulting merely in the 
gratification of an appetite. The gov- 
ernment, gets a certain tax from the 
manufacture and sale of liquor and 
this is often advanced as an economic 
argument, but. the remainder of the 
cost is purely a drain on the resources 
of the individual, and thus also the 
nation, without any useful return to 
either. 


Would not the present be an aus- 
pictous time to begin a movement to 
impress upon all the advantages from 
a personal and a patriotic standpoint 
of abstaining from liquor? The sheer 
waste of money in Canada in the pur- 


chase and consumption of liquor, to} 


say nothing of its other undeniable ef- 
fects, at a time when every good citi- 
zen should be straining every nerve to 
conserve the resources of thé’country

gradually, especially with naturally

brought about. by manuring, we be- 
lieve that it is not wise to ‘bury’ the 
manure. A shallow ploughing-under, 
or the iucorporation by the means of

crops the most profitable practice.

to those from rotted manure. 

“The important part that manure 
plays in improving the tilth of a soil 
and in supporting the useful microbic 
life of a soil has been well brought 
out, so that we can truly say that 
| manure has a greater value than that

color and a good tail carriage. You 
should then expect the pullets from 
the hatch to have better heads than 
|the birds from the cockerel pen. You 
would obtain cockerels and pullets 
from both pens, but some with more 
distinctive characteristics than if one 
pen only had been used.

the settled conviction that any form of 
protection for the . Take ‘body

proof garments. 
certain type of inventor devotes his 
time to producing a perpetual motion 
device, in Europe the same type works 
on an impenetrable waistcoat and be- 
comes the butt of all the jokesmiths. 

In the first weeks of the war the 
German general staff issued a warn- 
ing that all protection devices were.a 
useless. waste of mioney, There was a 
hint that the unserupulous promoter 
was profiting by the creation of some 
nebulous brained: inventor to swindle 
soldiers and their relatives out of 
good money for useless body prote<- 
tors.to save them from becoming can- 
non fodder. But now it would seem 
that the great fuilitary chiefs were 
wrong and that the inventors of the 
waistcoats and heacgear were not so 
crazy as they had seemed to be. 

In the early days of the yarit wes 
found that soldiers received an’ extep- 
tionally high percentage of: head 
wounds and the French war authori- 
ties took official cognizance ofthe 
fact. But while they were: studying 
the matter the French. soldier was 
quick to seek a remedy. He impro- 
vised a head covering with tin cans, 
saucepans, anythiny that ‘would fit. 
Finally the lid of his canteen was re- 
quisitioned.. This was worn, not. of 
course in the charge, but in the watch- 
ful waiting of the trench. 

, It served to weaken the blow of 
projectiles, and was even quite effic- 
ient against thos. shrapnel bullets 
and high explosive fragments which 
came over the trench parapet almost 
spent or weakened in force by rico- 
chetting. Naturally against the direct 
projectile the “tin lid’ did not avail. 

The Freneh war department, im- 
pressed by the utility even of a can- 
teen lid, gave an order for the immed- 
iate manufacture of 700,000 light met- 
al head protectors. These cost only 
seven ‘cents each, but they ‘allowed 
the canteen lid to go back to its  pris- | 
tine employment and. they served for 
a valuable experiment. A record was 
Kept, and it was found that this new 
headgear was successful in sixty 
cases out of one hurdred in protecting 
the head against injury from shrapnel 
bullets.

How Wanamaker Succeeded 


Always Tried to do Better Than the 
Other Fellow, He Says 


“Every boy has a fair chance and 
can arrive if he starts right and sticks 


to it,” says John Wanamaker, - the 
great merchant of New York and 
Philadelphia. ; 


Wanamaker was visiting in Kansas 
City a few years ago and was asked 
by a newspaper reporter to tell the 
secret of his success. |. 

“IT always tried to do better than the 
other fellow,” he answered. 

Wanamaker says that when he went 
to Philadelphia to find his first day’s 
work he was laughed at for-his coun- 
try clothes. He-got a job in a store 
and the other clerks made fun of him 
because he worked so hard. He did 
things that he did not have to do. He 
was always ready to jump in and 
help. He worked as hard for the suc- 
cess of that little clothing store as if 
he owned it himself. He was always 
doing better than any other clerk in 
the store, and the owner soon saw it. 
It wasn't long until John was foreman 
of the place and boss over the clerks 
who had laughcd at him. 

“It was good for me to be sneered 
and scoffed at,” says Wanamaker. “It 
helped me to arrive at the destination 
I had started for.” 

Of course Mr. Wanamaker was ex- 
aggerating to make hig point. Not 
every boy has had a'fair chance. But 
every boy needs to ask himself the 
questions suggestc: by Mr. Wana- 
miker. “Am I doing my job.as well 
as ityean. be done?” Am I working for 
the house all the time, thinking of the 
best interests of the business, bring- 
ing intelligence to my work?” “Am I 
making good so corspicuously that I 
am making myself indispensable?” 
Such questions as these must be an- 
swered in the affirmative before a 
boy can feel that he is making the 
most of his opportunities.—Kanscs

A BRAND OF SHAME FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE 


o 


Germans Within the Empire are Convinced that there has been’ 
No Conspiracy by any Government against Germany, and 
Only by Victory of the Allies will they be Set Free 


In spite of a ‘policy of suppression fh 
Germany evidence is*reyealed almost 
every day of the awakening of a spirit 
of revolt. that has been in « hypnotic 
slumber. It appeared “in the recently- 
published manifesto of the social 
democracy, but was. curbed by the cb- 
session so assidiously. kept up by the 
imperial. goyérnment that the empire 
was fate into the war of the defense 
of its very existence. It is boldly as- 
serted by a committee of the German 
Humanity League, which is more safe- 
ly dated at Rotterdam. That the mem- 
bers of that body are free from the 
Obsession is shown by the assertion 


_that they are “convinced” that there 


fhas been “no conspiracy by any gov- 
ernment or any nation against Ger- 


|; many, and that on the contrary it is 
| only by the victory or the allied arm- 


ies as guardians of humanity that we 
ourselves shall be emancipated from 
the accursed yoke of Prussian mili- 
tarism,” : . 

“Enlightened d@mocrats in all coun- 
tries,” it is declared, must assist in 
breaking that yoke “before the Ger- 
man states can regain the pathway of 
peace.” As evidence that those whose 
sentiments are expressed in this new 
manifesto can “look facts plainly in 


“the face,” and see them as they are 


seen by all who-are not obsessed, such 
familiar “facts” are thus stated: “No 
state coveted our land or menaced 
German integrity. Our ships were free 
to sail and welcomed on eVery ocean 
Our citizens enjoyed the fullest civil 


of the “great cential empire” of Bur- 
ope than, those uttered by these Ger- 
man .voices.. They cry out that this 
power ‘has. shattered our homes, 
darkened our lives, robbed us of our 
bravest’ sons and set the whole civil- 
ized world against us.” They charge 
it with having by foul corruption de- 
ceived the Turkish nation and com- 
passed its ruin,” and they declare that 
to their last hours the kaiser, Von 
Tirpitz and Bethman Hollweg will car- 
ry upon them the brand of shathe for 
the unparalleled ruin they have 
wrought and the misery into which 
they have plunged the world by their 
barbarism on land and sea.” 


The significance, of this language 
lies in the fact that it does not come 
from enemies of .Germany, or even 
from men of Germen blood who were 
exiled by this very Prussian militar- 
ism in time past; and have shared in 
blessings of democratic governmen 
in other lands. It is uttered by ae- 
voted sons of the Fatherland who long 
; for such blessings in the home of their 
race and their kindred. They are 
making an earnest appeal to “every 
democratic Saxon, Bavarian, Hanover- 
jan and Wurtemburger to join hands 
with all who realize the unspeakable 
crime of unprovoked war and to per- 
severe in demanding the evacuation of 
Brabant, Flanders and Luxemburg and 
the cessation of bloody outrage in Al- 
sace and Lorraine.” 


One can only wonder how much of 


rights in all parts of the world. Our | this spirit of revolt is still slumbering 


industrial output found a ready mar- 
ket in every quarter of the globe. 
Commerce was increasing year- by 
year.” 

A year ago nobody would be found 
even in Germany to dispute these 
facts. As further evidence that there 
are Germans who see and feel :s 
others do, the desire is expressed that 
“outraged Belgium, Luxemburg and 
France be restored to tranquility and 
the liberation of Poland and Bo- 
hemia from the fetters of servitude.” 
How far this feeling may exist cannot 
now be judged because, according to 
this same Geramn authority, “by false 
declaration the press is compelled to 
deceive the Fatherland and our com- 


- patriots continue to be slaughtered in 


the trenches. By golden gifts mem- 
bers of the Reichstag and publicists 
have been seduced to betray the peo- 
ple’s cause they have sworn to de- 
fend.” ‘No more <evere charges have 
been made against the ruling power 


|benumbed under the surface of the 
states which constitute the empire of 
Germany, ready to break out if some 
great climax should _ be reached to 
cause an eruption. It has been sup- 
; pressed, but it has not become ex- 
jtinct. A generation has grown up un- 
dér the molding,influence of the Prus- 
sian system of governnient, derived 
from the medieval time, and on the 
surface it is’ cased with iron and 
adorned with imperial splendor. But 
there may yet be something volcanic 
underneath. It can only rumble while 
the armies are trampling over the 
fields and holding their ground against 
enemies who have been aroused to 
madness in their own defense and in 
a determination to expel the demons 
of war from their borders and extin- 
guish the fires in which they revel and 
threaten the peace of the world and 
the welfare of mankind.—New York 
Journal of Commerce and Commercial 
Bulletin. 


The Farm Training 


The Country in a Class by Itself for 
the Development of Character 


Farm trained boys have long been 
valued by employers in every line of 
industry and in the professions, be- 
cause of their greater initiative and 
abounding energy. A cit¥ contempor- 
ary admits the superiority of boys 
from the farm, and laments the de- 
cline in initiative and energy in men 
of the city’s own breeding. The reason 
for this difference igs fully explained, 
we believe, by the artificial life of 
the modern city. The following para- 
graph from And_rson’s “The Farmer 
of Tomorrow,” is not overdrawn as a 
description of the life of the average 
city man: ; 

“Light, air, fuel and water, the pro- 
ducts of nature, are fed to him 
through tubes; vacuum and gravity 
az. harnessed for his light housekeep- 
ing. The municipality, of which he is 
a member in good standing, disposes 
of his waste paper and potato peel- 
ings; régulates noise and smell; in- 
spects his food; -guarantees him so 
many cubic feet of air to sleep in, a 
minimum bacterial count of 50,000 to 
the c. c. in his .morning’s milk, and a 
ladder in case of fire; assumes the 
supervision of the eyes, teeth and in- 
tellect of his children, polices him, 
sweeps his streets, counts him at 
birth, marriage and death and at the 
polls, fumigates him, makes music for 
him in the parks, and keep him off the 
Brass.” 

Where is the chance for the develop- 
ment of initiative under conditions 
such as this? Where is the opportun- 
ity for that communion with nature 
which awakens and develops the best 
in humanity?

Never Saw a Saloon 


Boys and Girls of Kansas Do Not 
Know What One Is 


There are half a million boys and 
guvls in Kansas, who never saw a 
saloon, Gov. Capper of that state re- 
marked in the course of an address it 
the Panama Exposition. His speech 
was delivered from the steps of the 
Kansas building in. celebration of 
Kansas day. 

“If it is good to live in Kansas, it 


-is because the people.of Kansas have 


made it so,” Gov. Capper said. “Kan- 
sas people have never dodged an issue 
nor refused to face a difficulty. Kan- 
sas is now a good place in which to 
live largely because thirty years ago 
we dared to make the open’saloon an 
outlaw, because we were not afraid to 
attack a curse as ancient as human 
history, and put it from us forever.”

and a half, but they went. by like old

Egyptian Temple Discovered | 


Thought to Have Been Erected 8,000 
Years Before the Time of Christ 
The unearthing of a great temple 


at Memphis, Egypt, is announced by

The temple, it is estimated, is of 
the period of Rameses II., and was 
ferected about 8000 B.C. While no 


definite data can be given out at this 
{time, the Egyptologists are inclined 
tv believe that the temple is one that 


as described in Herodotus. 

| Memphis was the oldest and the 
, sreatest of the ancient Egyptien 
cities, and was noted for its art and 
architecture. Dr. Fisher reported he 
jhad collected more than 4,000 speci-

‘Social Centre 


Wealthy Citizen Constructs Neighbor- 
hood Community of Hustonia, 
Ohio 
South Charlestown, O.—A few miles 
from this town lies Hustonia, the only 
built to order community centre for 
farmers in the United-States. It was 
built under the direction of Foster 
Houston, aged 47, and is designed to 
bring neighborhood ideas to the coun- 
try, so that rural residénts may have 
healthy amusement ‘during leisure 
hours, and so that the young tillers of 
the soil shall not weaken to any desire 

to flock to the big cities. 

Houston himself deserves a para- 
graph. He began life as a boy bound 
out to a skinflint. farmer who allowed 
him 10 ¢ents a week spending money 
and gave him an orange for Christ‘ 
mas. He worked from 3 a.m. till 
darkness. He learned all about farm- 
ing as it was done before scientists 
took a hold of it. When he inherited 
a@ bank and several thousand acres of 
land ‘on the death of two elder broth- 
ers, then he began to widen hig know- 
ledge of scientific farming. 


Three years ago he began to put his 
ideas on farming into operation. Own- 
ing 10,000 acres of good soil in Madi- 
| son, Clark, and Green counties, he di- 
vided his land into thirty-two farms 
and instituted the tenant system, with 
his important provision—the tenart 
was hig business partner. Each farm 
was operated as a separate business, 
as Houston and Jones, or Houston and 
Smith, or Houston and Houston ‘as 
happens in the case of his son, who 
operates a 600 acre plot. Bach tenant 
is supreme on his farm, answerable 
only to Houston. 

Bach of the partnership farms is 
operated on a ¢ard index, scientific, 
businesslike system. All disburse- 
ments are by check; every animal and 
currycomb on every farm is listed, and 
a monthly audit is' made of each part- 
nership. Every field at every month of 
the year is accounted for with colored 


maps. Ixpert accountants keep the 
hooks. An expert cngineer has charge 
of the buildings erected, roads con- 
structed and general layout of the 
farms. 

Each of the thirty-two farms pro- 


duces different crops and stock, the 
latter numbering into the thousands. 
| Two farms specialize in dairying, an- 
other in chicken raising. another in 
horses, etc. The dairie; are models, so 
far as labor saving machinery and 
modern methods of handling milk are 
concerned. Orchards are carefully 
kept, houses and buildings well paint- 
ed, and everything conducted on a 
businesslike basis. All of the farms 
are beautiful to look upon. 

_ Hustonia comprises 230 buildings. 
The: one in which Houston takes most 
|pride is the Houston Athletic club- 
| house, a structure 40x70 feet. This 
place: has become the veritable centre 
of the social life of the community.—

‘Bulletin on Swine Raising 


| Eee 


; Valuable Bulletin Covering the Whole 
Field of Swine Raising 

The second edition of Bulictin No. 
17 of the Federal Live Stock Branch, 
entitled “Swine Husbandry in Can- 
ada,” has been issued, and may be 
had-on application to the publication 
branch of the d partment of agricul- 
ture at Ottawa. The interest in swine 
raising, stimulated, no doubt, by the 
high values. of pork products, made 
/such a demand for information on this 
{subject that the first edition printed 
last year was quickly exhausted. This 
edition brings up to date statistics 
with respect to pedigree registration 
and the trade in hog products. It is 
shown that the total exports for tie 
fiscal year. ending March 31, 
amounted to 166,048,519 Ibs., as 
against 27,561,140 Ibs. the previous 
year. This bulletin covers the whole 


sults of official experiments as well as 
the practices - of successful 
swine raisers. An interesting section 
describes the system of feeding hogs 
in Denmark, where combinations of 
feod are prepared according to their 
food units, in which one pound of 
grain—wheat, | rley, peas, corn, ete. 
-constitutes on, food unit, whieh is 
;equal to eight Ibs. mangels, four Ibs.

‘Prohibition for Russia.

National Savings Have Greatly In- 
creased Since Law Went Into 
Effect 


Finance Minister ,Bank declared 
that in spite of enormous war ex- 
penses Russia had succeeded in find- 
jing sufficient funds, notwithstanding 
the loss of revenue caused by the pro 
| hibition of the gale of liquor, the tax 
upon which formerly yielded 1,000,- 
000 roubles ($500,,000,000) annually. 
He stated that the war expenses ot 
Russia at the end of 1915 will amourt 
{to 7,242,000,000  *($3,621,000,000) to 
cover which the minister is projecting 
a series of credit operations. These 
operations were assured of success, 
M. Bark said, as the national savings 
had increased 1,800,000,000 roubles 
($900,000,000), which proved that the

Corn Enough in 1914 to 
Build 7 Pariama Canals 


Agricultural Authority, Prepares Some 
Startling Figures on Output of 
America i 
That last year’s American corn crop 
would have built seven Panama canals 
is the startling computation made by 
Prof. P. C. Holden of the agricultural 
extension department of the Interna- 
tional Harvester Company and a 
world authority on corn in figures he 
has compiled for inclusion in an ad- 
dress he ig to deliver before the Top 
Notch Farmers’ .club at the Panama- 
Pacific exposition. | 
The tremendous and growing! im- 
portance of the corn crop, not only in 
the United States but in other doun- 
tries which formerly grew little éorn, 
is little realized, even by the rank! and 
file of corn growers themselves, ac- 
cording to Prof. Holden. 
In realizing a statement of some of 


the more impressive of his findings, | 


Prof. Holden reports that 20 per cent. 
of all the tillable land in the United 
States is planted to corn every year, 
producing 2,700,000,000 bushels, worth 
$1,900,000,000. In 1914,  105;000,000 
acres were planted to corn. in this 
country says the expert in demonstrat- 
ing that the expression “Corn is King” 
is more than a figure of speech. 

“Corn is the universal crop,” is Prof. 
Holden's statement. “In 1914, the 
world’s crop amounted to more than 
3,500,000,000 bushels,. grown on 170.- 
000,000 acres of land. The United 
| States produced two-thirds of this 
crop. In 1866, forty-nine years ago, 
;corn brought the American farmers 
$411,000,000, and forty-nine years 
rsince, corn has steadily increased in 
acreage and value, never once falling 
below this figure. 

“Wherever corn is grown,” there 
you find rich, prosperous communi- 
| ties,” Prof. Holden continues. “Corn 
;is grown in every section of the Unit- 
ed States. It was but a few years ago 
| we thought northern lowa too far 
|north to produce profitable crops, but 
jor 75, Dakota now has an annual yield 


{ 


of 75,000,000 bushels. In 1913 Canada 
produced 17,000,000 bushels. 

“Corn requires much greater care to 
| prevent deterioration than most other 
| crops since it is a comparatively new 
| crop, as we know it today, and its 
characteristics have not been so thor- 
oughly fixed through centuries of 
| breeding; but for the: 8ame reason it 
‘is also much more susceptible to im- 
provement by proper. treatment. 

“By intelligent selection and breed- 
ing, corn has been improved in the 
last few years far beyond our 
greatest expectations: Corn is yet in 
the piastic stage of its development, 
and for that reason it adapts itself 
readily to new conditions, responds 
quickly to good treatment, and gives 
better returns for the efforts put into 
it than any other crop that grows. 

‘“Upon the great fundamentai 


law 


man progress. That ‘poor seed’ means 
a ‘poor crop’ no one will question; but 
is not so fully recognized that unless 
‘great pains be taken to plant only the 
{best seed the crop’ will gradually de- 


|teriorate, or ‘ran out,’ as we often 
, Say. 

“Poor seed is the greatest cause of 
the poor yield of corn. Just one 


{small eight ounce ear of corn added to: 


each hill will raise the average in the 


acre, double the yield and value of the 
crop, and add about $1,700,000,000 to 
its total value. 

“No other crop can replace corn, but 
corn can readily take the place of any 
other grain crop.”—Chieago Tribune.

War and the 
Cost of Living 


The War's Effect on Food Prices in 
Europe \ 

“The war has caused an increase in 
the cost of living throughout Europe, 
but this increase has varied greatly 
according to local conditions. In the 
main the greatest risé has been in the 
| price of necessaries. . 

The effect of the outbreak of war on 
prices “was the same practically 
throughout Europe. Its vutbreak was 
followed by a sharp rise in prices due 
mainly to panid and uncertainty. In 
some countries législative measures 
were at once undertaken to chek this 
rise; in others the government strict- 
ly adhered to the hands-off policy, and 
trusted to the natural course of events 
for a readjustment, Within a fort- 
night, the first panic ‘was over and ex- 
cept in the actual war zone prices be- 
gan to sink. In most places, however, 
prices did not get back to the July 
level.” 5 

Within the same countries prices 
showed startling fluctuations. In 
Rheims, France, within the war zone, 
prices reached a maximum in that 
country. In Paris there was no in- 
crease in the general price level, and 
an actual decrease in 
\fruits, vegetables, and some meats, 
| while in Marseilles, there was an in- 
crease of 80 per cent. In Carlsbad, 
Austria, prices vastly increased, while 
in Vienna the increase was compara- 
j tively small, the difference peing ac- 
;counted for by the fact that Carlsbad 
)received the bulk of its supplies from 
Germany. In fact, prices in this city 
seemed to increase on a basis of com- 
| parison highcr than in any other. city 
‘in Europe, unles. it was Christiania, 
| Norway, or Constantinople. Jt is also 
)/noteworthy:that the price of wheat 


, bread is higher in the large cities of | solid 


jneutral countries in Europe than it 
is in the belligerent countries, ptob- 
ably due to the fact that in the fight- 
ing nations the governments under- 
took to fix prices. ’ 

Changes in channels of trade and 
the location of the war zone altered 
'the prices of many commodities. For 
‘instance, the war zone in France oc- 
|cupies the sugar-beet field, because of 
| which the price of sugar in France is 
higher than ever before, anv still 
| higher in England, which imports all 
\its sugar. Turkey lost its Russian sup- 
| ply of sugar, and in fact the whole 
Balkan country is affected by it. The 
!closing of the Dardanelles upset the 
flour supply of practically every na- 
tion of Europe heretofore dependent 


on Russia, and Holland is the only 
country reporting flour at a normal 
price. 


The effect of war on the cost of liv- 
ing in Europe has been most marked 
since 1912. At Salorica the cost of liv- 
ing had increased 10 per cent. on No- 
vember 8, 1912, when the city was oe- 
cupied by the Greeks. Following the 
occupation there was another increase 
of-25 per cent. -As a result of the pre- 
;sent war, another increase of 30 per 
‘cent. has taken place. In other words 
{the price of foodstuffs, consumed by 
the poor especially, haw increased by 
; two-thirds in Salonica in the last three 
years. 

Government experts on foodstuffs 
point-out that the resources of none of 
the beligerents have heen seriously 
impaired by the war, except in the ac- 
tual zones of fighting. A portion of 
Poland, and nearly all of Galicia have 
; been devastated by the contending 
armies beyond hope of redemption, so

support. Th agricultural resources 
of Germany and Austria, except in Ga-

AY TA., WEDNESDAY, 


EIGHTH ANNIV ERSARY 


HIS ISSUE FINDS THE WAINWRIGHT STAR ending 
its seventh year of existance; it finds The Star at the 
dawn of another twelve month in which its management will 
endeavor, with the co-operation of the people, to publish a 
newspaper of which Wainwright may feel proud. The Star 
begins this year of effort as those of the past—with a feeling 
of optimism that its management once more launches out on 
@ period that will be abundant with opportunities, opportuni- 
ties that may be converted into beneficial actualities. And it 
feels also, as it should feel, that the new year will be one of 
accomplishment not only for the people of Wainwright, but 
forthe town of Wainwright and the district of Wainwright. 

For seven years The Star has been in existance. Most all 
of them have been strenuous for despite the excellent support 
that hasbeen given the paper by its supporters, there have 
been times when the publication’s horizon has been streaked 
with dark clouds. But fortunately for the management, 
these dark clouds have had their silver linings which have 
ultimately loomed big, have swallowed the darknesses that 
they formerly encircled. And soit is then; that The Srar, 
despite all these trials and tribulations, has progressed and 
developed. It has progressed from a puny sheet of sometimes 
two pages into a “sheet” of eight pages, each and every one of 
which for appearance and news value rank with the best of 
their on in the dominion. 

Old-timers will remember the innovation of The Srar. 
They will recall the difficulties that often-times presented 
themselves in its weekly publication. They can picture the 
newspaper going to press on the old Washington hand press 
when it took much physical strength and twelve long, tedious 
hours to make the “run’ and the recollection of many other 
difficulties inthe “turning out” of the pioneer newspaper, is 
easy to them, 

But these same old-timers have seen changes and watched 
progressive moves. ‘They have seen the decr epit Washington 
press replaced by mechanism ot later device that will accom- 
plish its work in 45 minutes and they have seen the addition of 
many other improvements that have resulted in The STar 
becomming the “quality” weekly newspaper it is today. And if 
such is possible by human effort and these old timers 

_ still watch, they will sce The Star continue to improve for 
the ideal of the present manayement isto see this paper so 
interesting, so complete, so authentic that it will became an 
absolute essential te every person of every family in this and 
‘surrounding districts. Nor is this our sole ideal. 

In time past every effort that would result in the develop- 
ment of town and district has been exercised by The Star, In 
time to come not only will these efforts be continued but they 
will be strengthened so as to bring added benefits. The Srar 
wants to aid the townspeople, the storekeepers and above all 
the farmers. It wants to assist them because it realizes that 
only by so doing can it hope to further the development ot its 
own interests. In return The Star asks the unstinted support 
of all for with this a wealth of possibilities will be opened up. 

This yearThe Stax will be edited along the same lines as 
thoso followed since the control by the present management. 
A fair and square deal will be given to all and the news of the 
paper will be made as representative for all interests as is 
possible. Much more cannot be expected of a newspaper, 


CO-OPERATIVE EFFORT IS 
NEEDED AMONG STOREKEEPERS 


IME AFTER TIME THE “STAR” has pointed out to its 
rexder's the value of home dealing. It has done this 

with the hope of bringing down to the lowest possible mini- 
' mum the number of orders being sent out of town for goods 
that could just as easily be purchased in town. In_ every 
eonceivable way The Stak has kept up this strong and steady 
advocacy and while some good has been accomplished the cry 
is heard from many quarters that even at the present time, an 


extraordinary figure is represented monthly in the amount | 


of money being sent out of town for goods that could and 
should be purchased in Wainwright. his preponderance of 
catalogue house patronage signals the death of small towns. 
And The Star believes that the people realise that out of 
town dealing is to their own detriment. But despite this, they 
continug to patronize the catalogue house and each and every 
menth send out thousands of dollars that should be circula- 
ted in their home town. There is something wrong some- 
where. Where doesthe fault lie? It is essential to the 
welfare of storekeepers that they tind out and find out soon 
and what is needed is the co-operative effort of all.

we doing the Germans an injustice if we say that the leading

called a ‘malevolent inference of their enemies, for it

| FIGHTING IN THE DARK 


Tremendous Strain Upon »Men ta 
Engine Room of Warships 


|. Deprived of the steadying satisfao 
/tlon of at ‘east seéing the enémy, the 
“men below decks in warships are 
keenly conscious of the struggle which 
‘may be going on without. 

| Blindéd, they are not deaf. The 
| keen aftificer knows full well the sig: 
nificance of the signals which the balls 
announce anc the dial records; and 
the knowledge makes the greater the 
strain of fighting “in the dark.” ‘The 
recorded experiences of an ‘artificer 
in a vessel which has seen much ac- 


tion prove how accurately the en- 
gineer may follow’ the course of a 
struggle. 


“As you krow,” said the engineer, 
“we encountered submarine attack. 
We had a great time, and it fairy 
took it out of us. You want a special 
breed of man for a job of that kind, 
for the strain is sometking to remem- 
ber. We came out of it all right, 
however, and I am trying not to be 
too proud of being one of the boys. 

“We had a good notion of how the 
racket was going, shut off as we wer6 
in our own little world. First it was 
“Full ahead,” and We opened her out 
and let her go, perhaps her best. We 
don’t know what that is, and neither 
did the other side. Those of them 
who were left to make calculations 
might be reckoning what their vessels 
were doing—and they nearly ‘bu'st’ 
themselves trying to get away-——might 
arrive at within a few knots of our 
speed, but they would still be . bit 
off. I reckon we had still a bit up 
our sleeve when the first gun went, 
after which we got a hint not to over- 
press her. 

“That meant that we were comfort 
ably within range with our left, so 
to speak, and could keep them thera 
as long as we chose, and hit. And 
hitting We seemed to be and no error. 
I could feel the ship quiver a bit as 
the big guns fired, but the drone of 
my turbine and the gauges on the 
dial were my chief attention. At 
least, they should have been. I must 
confess, however, that from ftirst to 
last I was on the quiver for more 
signals, and it was a God-send that we 
had the gauges, and the dial, anc the 
signals upon which we might attempt 
to concentrate, for the strain was 
absolutely tremendous. it was the 
absolute horror of something coming 
to disable our engines. 
a-cock all the time for the roar of 
a steam ‘main’ hit and carried away; 
for the shot that might wreck a poil- 
er; for the rattle of steering gear 
gone.” 


My ears were 


UNLOOKED FOR PRAISE 


of Britons Admitted by a 


Famous German Editor 


Bravery 


The Die Zukunft, a political review 
edited and published in Berlin by 
Herr Maximilian Harden, printed the 
following: 

“The English army has dissipated 
many of the prejudices of the tactic- 
fans’ against mercenaries. In the 
British Isles there are plenty of pro- 
fessions bringing in good money. | If 
a man voluntarily joins the army in- 
stead of becoming a clerk, agent, 
games-professional, or jobber, then 
he has done so because he likes it; 
it {is pleasure in his work that raises 
a man’s achievements above the 
average. On German soil England is 
still grimly hated, but the German 
warrior spirit, just in its appreciation, 
has over and over again praised the 
courage, stamina, and shooting skill 
of the English. 

The béggars are artists. Show them 
two fingers above the edge of the 
trench, and they hit the mark. Dum- 
dum bullets? Certainly. Still, such 
things as bomb-splinters, arrows from 
the sky, benzol, ‘Minenwerfer” hardly 
appertain to the armory of pious 
knights. Tommy has amazed us. We 
thought that something ridictlous was 
on its way to us from the other side 
of the water. Now ‘every one takes 
him seriously. Twice, three times 
wounded, he fights on. Apd when in 
a hand-to-hand struggle he has reach- 
ed the end of his tether, he tears 
open his tunic and with bared breast 
flings himself on the glittering steel. 
Buch fighting is worth the doing.” 


Turkey's Sure Doom 
Turkey's decline as a miHtary 
power has been extremely rapid. 
When the army got into politics six 
years ago it lost its discipline and 


patriotism. It is now a mere shell 
of its former self. Turkey was drag: 
ged intp this war by Enver Pasha and 
by the German officers’ in high com. 
mand in the Turkish army and navy. 
The people are out of sympathy with 
the Young Turk faction and weary of 
foreign taskmasters. The empire is 
on the brink of ruin—-New York Tri- 
bune.

JUST A LITTLE. ‘COMMENT 


So Alberta is denerihed as the centre of ‘‘German Kultur Pio- 
neers”’ in Canada, according to the Vossiche Zeitung. That's pretty 
good for the youngest. province in the Dominion, that has sent more. 
soldiers per capita to uphold the cause of Empire than any other 
province in Canada. Some one in Germany has been indulging in 
that merry pastime of ‘‘slipping the Bull”’ to the Kuiser. 

* * * 


Of course, Dr. Dumba should be given safe conduet, but it would 
be a pleasure to make part of his protection brass armor with a rear 
plate engraved ‘‘ Kick Here.”’ 

P * * * 

It is now possible to buy an electric headlight for an eleetrie 
flat iron, With sueh equipment the washerwoman who misses a but- 
ton will be ashamed of herself. : 

* * 

Well, ‘anyway, why siculdn! t equal suffrage be granted the 
women of Alberta? Preniier Sifton now favors it and some time ago 
I. Michener, leader of the opposition in the provincial legislature of- 
fered to second a motion if the government would bring one. before 
the ‘house. Equal suffrage is one of those movements that ultimately 
come whether we like them or not. It is a reform in the right diree- 


tion. Yes, we are promised a bill on the subject at the next. session 
of the loeal legislature. 


* * * 


HTow times do change. In less than one short year there will be 
novery against John Barleycorn in Alberta. Those who ehum with 
the old boy will no doubt be hobnobbing with his substitute, John 
Barleywater this time, 1916. 

* * * 

“Amid the diverting influences of the war, woman’s suffrage, 
and the power plant, let us not forget to swat the sow thistle as op- 
portunity offers.” That's almost the best editorial note and about 
the only sensible one with the mention of ‘‘war’’ in it, that the Ed- 
monton Bulletin has published sinee Great  Britain’s deelaration 
agaist Germany more than a year ago,

“Go back to your room,” 
Ralph. “I will fetch it for you.” 
“There is no oceasion,” the woman 
replied. “Tne zhock of meeting you has 
cured me, But wha‘ are you doing?” 
“Sleeping on the stairs,” Ralph said 
in bis dullést, thost mechanical way: 
“Sieep—sleeping cn the ° stairs! |

“Yes. L presume you have no “i

Mrs. May was silent. Did this man 
know the terrible position he had 
placed her in? Was he telling the 
truth, or was he spying om her? Was | 
he dangerous enough to be removed? 
Or Was he the poor creature he repre- | 
sented himself to be? | 

‘You should get your clever friend 
Tchigorsky to cure you.” she gaid._ | 

“Tchigorsky has,gone away. | don't | 
know when I shall see him again.” 

That was good .news, at any rate. | 
Mrs. May stooped to artifice. There 
were reasons why thi8 man ghould be | 
got out of the way at present. He had | 
brought danger by his stupid eccen- | 
tricity, but the bold woman was not! 
going to. change her plans for that. | 

“Bo guided by me,” she said. “Go! 
to your room.” | 

“Tam here till the morning,” Ralph 
said, dogge:ly. “Go to yours. We are | 
a lost, doomed race. What does it | 
matter what I do?” 

Was useless to combat sullen ob- 
stinacy like this. Mrs. May uttered a 
few clear words in a language that | 
not one in a million would - under. | 
stand—certainly not three people in 
Prgiand, It never occurred to her for 
a ‘moment that Ralph Ravenspur | 
miggt Be one of the three, but. he was. 

He“ listened grimly. No doubt the 
mysterious words Lad nothing to do| 
with the matter, but a door in the cor- 
ridor opened, and Marion emerged, 
carrying a light in her hand. She came | 
swiftly down the corridor, her long 
hair streaming behind her. As she 
saw Ralph she gave a sigh of relief. 

“Come quickly to Vera’s room,” she | 
said. “I want your help” 

In her intense excitement she seem- | 
ed not to notice Mrs. May. The latter} 
stood aside while the other two passed 
along. She slipped into her own room 
and closed the door. 

“Foiled,” she hissed, “and by that 
poor meaningless idiot. Is it possibl 4, 
that he suspected cnything? But no, 
he is only a fool. If I had only dared, 
1 might have ‘removed’ him at the 
same time. On the whole, it was a 
good thing that Marion did not see 
me.” 

Without the least trace of -excite- | 
ment and without hurry, Ralph follow- 

- ed Marion. A light was burning in the 
room and Vera, still dressed, was ly- 
ing on the bed. She was fast asleep, 
but her face was deadly cold and her 
breathing’ was faint to nothingness. 
Ralph's fingers rested on her pulse for | 
a minute. 

“How long’ has she been like this?” 
Ralph asked. 

“IT don’t know,” Marion replied. “1 
was just dropping asleep when I! 
fancied I heard Vera call out. In this 
house the mere suggestion sufficed. I; 
erept quietly along and came, in here. 
‘rhe room was empty save for Vera 
and theng was no sign of a struggle.

to be deadly cold. Is—is it danger- 
ous?” 

Ralph: shook his head

hands, and yet we cannot touch him

a drug. The effect of it will pass

“On the floor, my dear uncle?”

Marion raised no further protests. 
Thig singular individual was in ‘the

thing could turn him from his humor.

There Tchigorsky enw Geoffrey 
waited him. The Jump was once more 
lighted. Tchigorsky had a grin ou his 
face. 

“Foiled 
you,” 

“Por the present, any rate,” 
Ralph replied “That charming wo- 
man does me the honor to regard me

“Won't you tell me

“As a matter of

gested that it was possible, without 
removing a single bolt or bar, to spirit | 
away, one of the family, who would

“So I not only’ prevented the das-

he concluded, “but I baffled thé foe al-

, “But you say that Marion was with

' “She was. .That nimble wit of hers

girl like her could have done nothing 
}against a strong and determined foe. 
!If necessary, she would have been car- 
tied off and théy would have killed 
two birds with one stone.” 

Geoffrey shuddered. He was sick 
For the. mo- 
ment he was a prey to utter despair. 
It seemed hopeless to -fight against a 
foe like this, a foe striking in the dark 
and almost moving invisibly.. 

“Some one ougl* to,watch that 
room,” he said. 

“It is unnecessary. I am-supposed 
to be sleeping élose by. Already the 
foe has learnt that I slumber with one 
eye open. Don’t be cast down, Geof- 
frey. Two more of tne ehemy are on 
their way to Yorkshire, and when 
they are here ithe mouth of the net 
is going to close. I pledge yot. my 
word that no further harm shall come 
to anybody. And Tchigorsky will say 
the same,” ; . 

“On my head be it,” Techigorsky 
muttered. He twisted a cigarette dex- | 
terously with his long fingers. 

“There is nothing to fear,” he said, 
“nothing with ordinary vigilance. The 
dangey wil] come when the time for 


to attack. Then there will be danger 
for the three of us here. Shall we go 
to bed?” 

“I could not sleep for a king’s ran- 
som.” said Geoffrey. 

“Then we will chat and smoke 
awhile,” said Tehigorsky. “If you like, 
I will go on wit the Listery of our 


Geoffrey assented eagerly. Tchigor- | 
sky proceeded in a whirl of cigarette 
smoke. 

“We knew we were doomed. We 
could see our fate in those smiling, 
merciless eyes. That woman had lived 
amcng civilized people; she knew 
western life; she had passed in goc- 
iety almost for an Englishwoman. 

“But she was native at heart; all 
hex feelings were with. her people. All 
t past could not save us.. She 
meant us to die, and die with the most 
torture under her very own 
eyes. Her life in India was a mas- | 
querade—this was her real existence. | 

“You fancy you are the first,’ she | 
said. ‘Did you ever know a Russian |

The German : 
Spy College 


Trains Men and Women in the Art of 
Espionage 

“Spies are a domestic product in 
Germany,” writés a contributor to the 
Paris Figaro, ‘and the government as- 
sits in developing the innate proper- 
ties of the seed in order to bring out 
a satisfactory crop. It raises its spy- 
embryos in hot-houses, until they at- 
tain such perfection as we have seen 
demonstrated on s0 many recent. .oc 
casions. There are in Germany col- 
leges for training spies, according to 
the Warsaw Gazette, which has pub- 
lished some very interesting details 
on the subject. 

“Foremost of these colleges is the 
where ‘the 
corps of teachers consists exclusively 
of former general staff officers. The 
course of instruction comprises an in- 


-timate study of the armies and mili- 


tary resources in general of foreign 
countries on which Germany may 
have some designs. Scholars are pro- 
cured through advertisements. One 
such appeared some time ago in a 
Berlin-newspaper dnd read as follows: 
‘Several vacancies open for intelligent 
and absolutely reliable persons. In- 
dispensable to be of German birth and 
have knowledge of the French, ‘Rus-

Maps and diagrams in colors are used 
to show the composition of the var-

size of the different branches of the 
service—infantry, cavalry, artillery, 
engineer troops, aviation corps, et:. 
Photographic reproductions give ei- 
lightening details about rifl@és, cart-

Particular stress is laid on the study 
of French military matters, which the 
students are required to krow almost

“During the second year of the 
course the scholars at the spy college 
all their energies on getting 
familiar with the defempive and mobl-

power is going to assemble the units

| mobilization. 


“At the end of the course the schol- 
ars are taught an elaborate cipher 
code in which to communicate and re- 
their observations. This code is 
composed so ingeniously that there is 
little possibility of detection, hardly 
of suspicion, by any outsider. 
After graduation the spies are first as- 
to some small neutral coun- 
‘practice, and when they 
have proven their adeptness they are 
finally commissioned in the regular 


;governmeént service and stationed at 
/such places where their services will 


be of actual value and immediate use. 


“If these revelations had been made | 


a year ago,’ the Gazette adds, “they 
would have been” received with a 
shrug of the shoulders. But in the 
light of reaT occurrences since last 
summer there is no reason to with- 
hold credence from the report about 
in Baden.”

Joice that it was given to me to be 
born in the country on a farm. I re- 
joice that my father was, compara- 
tively speaking, a poor man; and that 
all of his household worked.” Father 
worked and réjoiced in labor. No- 
where else was he so happy as when 
he was leading a gang of mowers in 
the meadows, or swinging the ¢radle 
to harvest the golden wheat. Work my, 
father believed wags good and honor- 
able and he made it joyous: In this 
spirit he taugit his sons to work. 
Early as a lad I was given tasks to 
;do. I accepted them unquestionably 
;and Jearned to do them well. I loved 
jthe little duties that were mine. } 
loved the great awkward colts that 1 
jfed and led, to water. I loved the 
gentle Old cows that 1 brought from

; There were the soft bluegrass and

; Was the dew. Sometimes it sparkled

jewels that filled the boy’s mind with 
wonder and joy. There were the

It was a good childhood.

What Lyddite Is 


Made From Picric Acid, arc is a Coal 

Tar Product 
most famous modern 
plosive and oue of the

to the French melinite and 
anese shimose. ycdite is simply 
picric acid meited with a little

yellow dye and also very serviceable 
in medicine for the treatment of 
burns. It is intensely poisonous and 
a powerful explosive. 

Attention to its value 
plosive was first drawn 
by the destruction of a 
factory where it was bcing manu 
factured., About the same date it 
was independently studied in France, 
and early in the nineties of last cen-

BETTER FRUITS AND VEGETABL 


(By Anna May Simcox,.in the Country 
Gentltman) 

In these days of advancing prices of 
nearly all food products the careful 
housewife should learn to utilize the 
garden products that would ordinarily 
remain in the ground and on the vines. 
She can with little labor and expense 
put up in cans. every vegetable that 
grews in her garden if she knows the 
a cold-pack method of home can- 
ning. 

The establishment of the home. can- 
ning clubs by-the department of agii- 
culture brought about more general 
appreciation of the fact that factory 
methods could be utilized in home 
canning—hence- the adoption of the 
cold‘pack method. 

Exhaustive experiments and end- 
less study of the problem by experts 
and specialists of the department 
have proved beyond a question of 
doubt that it is not only possible but 
practicable to ¢an in the home any 
vegetable or fruit than can be grown 
in the. home garden or orchard, with- 
out resorting to the three-day cr 
fractional sterilization method. Furth- 
ermore the product will keep ag sure- 
ly a8 though it were put up by a com- 
mercial canning factory, and it will be 
much better. . More than 100,000 girls 
and“mothers received detailed instruc- 
tion in this method of canning last 
season and aS many homes now have 
the blessings incident to a balanced 
ration of fruits and vegetables 
throughout the entire year, 

Under the common method of home 
canning followed by the women of a 
few years ago—what is now called the 
open-kettle method—the product was 
cooked or sterilized in an open kettle 
and then transferred to’a jar, the rub- 
ber and top were put in place, and the 
product was put away in cellar or 
storeroom. One of the chief disad- 
vantages of this method was the un- 
certainty of keeping. / 

Canned goods keep because they are 
sterile—that °is, all the bacteria, 
spores and molds have been killed. 
By the open-kettle method the product 
might be sterilized perfectly in the 
cooking process, but in transferring to 
the jar the product is passed through 
unsterile air and additional spores 
and bacteria are. picked up which in 
time cause the prodtct to spoil. 

The cold-pack method canning is 
simply this: Place the product to be 
raw state if 


sterilize or cook. By sealing the jars 
before we sterilize we have kept addi-

Remember in all canning work that 
no printed recipe ‘or other form of i-- 
struction will sueceed without the ap- 
plication Of common sense and practi- 
cal judgment.’ All recipes given here 
are based upon normal, ripe; firm 
fruits and vegetables. : 

The -cold-pack method of canning 
may be utilized to advantage in the 
catining of soups and purees for win- 
ter use and in the canning of fruit 
juices. In writing to the doparttiient 
for canning instructions include a re- 
quest for these recipes. 

Reducing the cost of living through 
the home canner is rapidly becoming 
a settled practice in city as well -s 
rugal homes. By watching the mar- 
kets practically all friits and vege- 
tables may be purthaséd at a very 
reasonable cost when secured in quan- 
tities at the height of the season. Try 
it this summer and provide your fam- 
ily with an excellent quality ind quan- 
tity of fruits, vegetables and greens 
during the winter months. 

In the language of the departmen‘ 
specialist: ‘‘Plan your home canning 
work so you will have a quart of fruit 
and a quart of vegetables for every 
cay in the year.”

Canada’s Timber Industries 
Their Permanency ‘Ca inct Le Assured 

Unless the Growth of Another 

Crop of Timber ig Pro. 
vided For y 
In a recent aduress pefore the com- 
mission of Co.iseivation at Utlawa, 
Mr. H. R, MacMillan emphasized the 
importance gf timber industries to 
Canada. Mr, MacMillan is chier of 
the British Colurbia forest branch 
and is now under temporary appoint- 
ment as Dominion traue commussioner 
to Australia and other countries. His 
opinion is accordingly entiticd to the 
thoughtful consideration of all Canad: 
ians. 

Mr. MacMillan forcibly brought out 
the fact that timber industries cannot 
be permanent unless the growth or an- 
other crop of timber is assured, and 
that thus the practice of forestry -is 
imperative as an economic niveasure. 
Every section of the Canadian public 
is interested. Roughly the proportion 
of non-agricultural land in Canada 
south of the 60th parallel is: Nova 
Scotia, 81 per cént.; New Brunswick, 
72 per cent.; Quebec, 76 per cent.; On: 
tario, 64 per cent.; Dominion Lands, 
51 per cent.;. British Columbia, 85 per 
cent. Some of these governiients al- 
ready have forestry departments; 
none can afford to be without some 
forestry organization, chafged with 
ihe study, protection and administr..-. 
tion of ‘timbered and non-agriciltural 
crown lands. Such land; should be 
studied, in order that the protective 
and administrative measyres adopted 
may be decided with a full knowiedge 
of the value of the products-to be ex- 
pected from the land. In this way ex- 
penditure is avoided on inacessible 
and non-productive land = which will 
not yield return ., and the investment 
is made on those lands where quatity 
and situation guarantee a protitable 
crop. In each province the area of 
timber land is very great. ‘Vhe condi- 
tions of forest growth, of fire hazarJ, 
of utilization, are so variable that Lo 
rule of thump methysds may be site'y 
adopted. The forest brancl must in- 
clude men trained to, and free to

One of these creameries is located at

Trieste in War a City of Silence 

Ernest Goth, correspondent of the 
Leipziger Tageblatt near the Italian 
frontier, writes of a trip to the city 
of Trieste soon after Italy entered 
the war. He found the streets de- 
serted, and it no longer was the lively, 
vivacious Trieste of old. In the har- 
bor only three steamships and four 
fishing boats were seen, and the whole 
city was so quiet that the approach 
of a cab could be heard blocks away. 
The fruit market, too, was deserted, 
despite the low prices of the luscious 
cherries on sale. In front of the Cafe 
Spechi, whose patrons heretofore hal 
their tables extending all around the 
square, there wer2 fewer than.a dozen 
dimers. Half the population of Trieste 
has left the city, despite the fact that 
there really ash no evacuation in fact. 
The officials of the city had gone to 
the interior and thousand. were called 


in defence of the flag. As a result 
Trieste was silent and asleep. 
“And. now, madam, what about 


penciling the brows?” 

“I think,” said Mrs. Nurich, “I'd like 
one of: these highbrow effects that I 
read sO much about in the papers.”

: AAA ERAODEORLA DRA DAND ‘Discoveries Due to War 


Many 'mportant Inventions Resulting 
Directly Through the War 

War is ut best a dismal, wasteful 
business, ° Yet. there is one thing 
avout it. It stimulates the brains of 
inventors, aad ¢hemists and. scien- 
tists in all the countries involved are 
working at high pressure. 

Some are busy about purely mili- 
tary inventions, some to evolve: sub- 
stitutes for matefials of tmdustry, of 
which the. import, has | suddenly 
ceased, others again are working for 
the benefit of the sick and wounded. 

It was the Boer war which taught 


us the value of anti-'yphoid inocula- 
tion. Nowadays, not. only soldiers, 
but travellers and explorers and all 


those’ who may have to risk drinking 
impure water go in for this inocula- 
tion, whicli in the tong run will prob- 
{ably put an end to the ravages of 
one of mankind's worst’ énemiés. 

The present war. has already seen 
ut least thres important new medi- 
cal inventions, the most valuable of 
which is undoubtedly the new serum 
called Coagulen. 

Codagulen is .the invention of the 
great Swiss surgeon, Professcr 
‘Kocher. It is in the fofm of a pow- 
,der, which before use is mixed with 
water.

or internal, It shortens” surgical 
operations and makes’ them 
dangerous. The French medical head- 
|quarters speak most highly of coagu- 


the blood and

llen. It will, no doubt, come into gen- 
eral use in all surgical operations. 
~rofessor  Frauhez, an 


‘doctor, has discovered ‘a preventive 
{against typhus. It is a mixture con- 
\ taining anisol, which almost instantly 
| sect which transmits the 
| spotted typhus. 

The odd thing about the discovery 
is that it came by chance. The pro- 
' fessor's assistant was toll to use 
anise oil in the mixture which was be- 
ing prepared. Instead he put in ani- 


infection of 


sol. 
A third invention which wilb-be al- 
most as useful in peace as in war 


is a method for taking almost instan- 
tuneous X-ray phctographs.  Hither- 
to an exposure of many miputes has 
been necessary for X-ray photos. 
The searchlight hase hardly 
improved since 1886, when 
;perfect parabolic mirror was _ pro- 
jduced. The chief disadvantage of 
'the searchlight has been that it could 
not be used in a ship that had not 
jan electric installation. 

fhis has now’ been changed. A 
new searchlight hag been evolved in 
which a mixture cf acetylehe and 
‘oxygen is burnt, and the flame played

of ‘this tremeidous strugg » which 
will probably in the futuro save thou- 
sands of human lives from collision

At present it is being used for the 
detection of submarines; in the future 
pessenger vessels will find it 
;able in time of fog: t .

It is suggested that a modiisication of 
these bombs will prove extremely use- 
ful in fire fighting, and will enable 
firemen to get to close quarters with 
ithe intense flame produced 
j burning of oil wells. 


An Oil That is Famous.—Though

' Thomas’ Kclectric Oil, it is the home 
{of that famous compound. From here 
jits good name was spread to Centra’

‘far afield enough to attest its excel- 
jlence, for in all these countr.es it is

Wool Sales in ‘Alberta 
eae stato 


| Dominion Grading Label Insures Qual- 
ity, and a Good Price 


The Alberta Sheep Breeders’ as- 
sociation, which is assisted financial- 
ly by the department of agriculture 


of the province of Alberta, undertook 
to assist its members in the market- 
in; of wool for the first time in July, 
1914. An expert wool grader was pro 
vided by John Bright, Dominion Live 
Stock commissioner, and the assccia 
tion undertook the duties of sales 
agent for their members. In, a!l, 16,- 
|000 pounds were sold the first year 
jal an average price of 19 cents a 
| pound. 

This year the members of the Al- 
berta Sheep Breeders’ association sent 
‘in over 94,000 pounds to be sold, and 
‘the sale ‘Was made to the Hdmonton 


| Hide & Fur Co. on Saturday, July 24,! 


/at an average price of 27.77 cents per 
jpound, the wool bringing over $26,000. 
| A number of the breeders who had 
|}the best wool obtained from 29¢ as 
| high as 30%c per lb. for their entire 
jelip. The wool will be shipped to a 
| Boston firm. The prices obtained give 
jample evidence that’ the buyers can 
| place absolute confidence on the kind 
|of wool which they will receive when 
[lepalied by the wool expert of the 


Dominion live stock branch, and can} 
than | 


therefore afford to pay mor’ 
when buying the wool indiscriminate- 
ly from the breeders and take the risk 
of receiving the wool in bad condition 
or with considerable foreign matter 
included. The members of the Alberti 
; Sheep Breeders’ association are much 
}pleased With the: methgd of handilng 
| their 
The buyers also save the expense of a 
{great deal of travelling, and the 
{trouble and inconvenience of collect- 
jing the small shipments to one point 
to make up a carloau. The associa- 
{tion supplies the bags to the members 
j}and afterwards collects the price of 
‘the bags from the purchaser. No com- 
mission is charged by the associa- 
tion on the sale of the wool but the 
actual cost of the labor 
while it is being graded, the cost of 
insurance and the cost of the paper 
twine for tying the wool is the only 
expense charged against the seller. 

While the high prices received this 
year are of course to be directly at- 
tributed to the activity in manufac- 
turing owing to the war, the success 


of the sale last year when similar con-: 


ditions did not prevail, was sufficient 
evidence that the association is in the 
best possible position for disposing of 
the wool of its members satisfactorily.

Great Elephant Fossil 


Soldiers Working in Ground of the 


“Royal Military Schoot at Upnor 
Find Remains of Gigantic 
Animal 


An almost ‘entire’ fossil of an ele | 


vated in the grounds of the Royal 
School of Military Engineers at Up- 
nor, near Chatham. It was discovered 
durifig some trenching work in gravel. 

The elephant belongs to a species 
known ‘as Elephas antiquus-of the 
early Pléistocene epoch, and is much 
larger than the mammoth. In geologi- 
eal age the Elephas antiques came 
earlier than the mammoth, and al- 
though perhaps at one time contem- 
porary, it died out sdoner, and is 
thought by many to have been a direct 
ancestor of the mammoth. 

It is believed to have been a more 
soutrern form, and enjoyed a milder 
clituate than the mammoth, which was 
| covered with shaggy red hair, as one 
{knows from several entire bodies 
| which have been found in the frozen 
| gravels of Northern Siberia. 

The present specimen is being dis- 
interred carefully by Dr. C. W. And- 
rews, F.R.S., one of the officers of the 
geological department of the British 
‘museum, the gcientist who discovered

Weed Education 
‘ And Extermination 


Systematic Action Being Taken inthe 

West to Eradicate Sow Thistle * 
. The department of agriculture of 
Saskatchewan is making systematic 
efforts to exterminate the sow thistle, 
which has been making great head- 
way in that province. The railways 
and - municipalities are co-operating, 
the railways are supplying track mot- 
ors while the-government’s experts di- 
rect the work. The Regina Leader, 
in commenting on the war against the 
sow thistle, said: 

“The C.P.R., having the greatest 
mileage in the province, is doing the 
great share of the work in exterminat- 
ing the weed on their right-of-way 
throughout the provincé. Every patch 


whole in the Natural History Museum, | of sow thi.tle is charted, and the com- 


ithe shoulder about fourteen feet. As 
{the bones are-recovered they have to 
be covered with plaster of Paris and 
dried carefully to prevent shrinkage 
and distortion. They will have to be 
finally hardened with a solution of 
glue or shellac and alcohol. This pro 


{cess is being carried out by one of {is paid to the’ weed, on the division 


{the museum's preparators, Mr. L. 1%. | 
Parsons, who on returning to the 
museum will have to spend = many 


!months of work before the restoration 
is complete. 

' This will be the first complete Ele- 
|phas antiqus preserved in Kngland. 
| Often parts have been discovered, but 
complete specimens are 
frare. This one must have been en- 
‘tombed in the gravel before the liga- 
jtures which held the bones together, 
‘ perished. 

Parts’ of this 
elephant were also found in the bed of 
}the Mauer, which yielded one of the 
earliest remains of man yet discover- 
|ed—a lower jaw bone of enormous 
| size and thickness, known as, that of 
| the “Heidelberg man.” 
|} The remains .of .he elephants dis- 
covered at Piltdown were, however, of 
jearlier date, and the human jaw  dis- 
‘covered wtih the Piltdown skull is of 
,;more primitive form than the Mauer

Twenty Canadian 
Forest Trees 


(By James Lawler, B.A. Formerly 
Secretary of the Canadian 

‘ Forestry Association) 

The Canadian Forestry association 
has recently issued » very interesting 
booklet dealing with the subject of 
forestry. It is hoped eventually to 
place one of these booklets in the 
hands of every boy and girl. in the 
country in order that all may be able 
to distinguish readily our more im- 
portant Canadian trees, and have an 
intelligent understanding of the great 
uses .to which they are put. The in- 
troduction to this booklet is reprint- 
ed herewith: : 

There are in Camada about one hun- 
dred and fifty native trees. Some 
of these are very scarce and known 
only. to those who make a study of 
trees, but all Canadians should en- 
deavor to learn the names and uses 
of the commoner trees which grow 
in the district about their homes. This 
little book tells about twenty of 
these. : 

Trees are not only the noblest mem- 
bers of the vegetable kingdom, beauti- 
fying the landscape in both summer 
and winter, but they are also very use- 
ful to man. Forests, by holding back 
from the rivers for a time the water 
which falls in the form of rain, keep 
the air in their neighborhood more 
most and feed. dowr the water more 
regularly to the rivers. If rocky hil!- 
sides are stripped of their trees the 
snow melts very rapidly in the spring 
and there is no soft cover of leaves 
and twigs and leaf mold to detain the 
water. It rushes down in a torren: 
and the riverg and streams overflow 
their banks. 
when the snows Rave melted and:the 
spring rains have ceased, the streams 
and rivers almost dry up. If forests 


are left on the hills the spring rains | 


and snows are so delayed in reaching 
the rivers that tlLey will not overflow 
in the spring and will retain a good 


| flow of water for the rest of the year. 


The substance of the tree, wood, is 
used for making ouses, barns, ships, 


j furniture, railway cars, implements, 
jfences, and :nany other things, and 
is also the chief fuel in Canada for 


of.

to make paper and others furnish us 
food. IMvery year wood becomes of 
greater necessity to mankind. We 


know this because Lhe price of wood is , 


constantly increasing. 


Ccnada ig one of the greatest tree- | 


have promised to | rowing countries of the world. Many 


years ago people used to think that 
some day all the trees in CanaGga 
would be cut down and the land cov- 
ered with farms. They did not know, 
as we do, that if the trees in Canada 
were cut down tomorrow more than 
half the land could not be used for 
farms, because it is too. hilly, stony, 
rocky, sandy, or otherwise barren. 
If trees are taken away from land 
of this kind it becemes a desert, such 
as may be seen in other countries, or 


even in many parts of Canada, where, |

When it is said that half of Canada 
be kepi growing trees” this 
does not mean that trees should never 
be cut down. Trees become ripe, just 
wheat or oats, and when they are 
ripe they should be harvested. When 
trees are cut down and tuken away 
from land not fit for farming a new 
crop of trees should be allowed to 
grow up in their place. This is usually 


done by allowing yours trees to come |} 


up from the seed left by the old trees. 
When repeated fires have killed 
the trees of the kind des’red, or when 
it is desired to bring Dew and better 
kinds of trees into the digtrict this 

done by sowing seeds or planting little 


trees 

The first great need, however, is to 
protect our forests against fire. Tire 
destroys at least eight times as many 
trees as are chopped down for the 
use of man. All persoiusg. should do all
